19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
The Nao Santa Maria at the Port of Fernandina on Amelia Island

This recreation of Columbus' Santa Maria was built in the same province of Spain as the original and set sail to America's ports for the 525th anniversary of his 1492 travels. It was harbored for several weeks at my home port. I wonder what Columbus would think of modern sailing vessels?
